Bright and crisp, this 2015 Santa Ynez Valley Sauvignon Blanc opens with mouthwatering aromatics of nectarine and
guava fruit with hints of gooseberries. A fresh, bold flavor profile of white peach cobbler and guava juice is balanced
by a bright acidity followed by notes of elderflower on the finish.

All of the fruit was harvested in the Santa Ynez Valley from August 19 to October 1, 2015. The fruit was hand
harvested in the early morning hours. After whole cluster pressing, the grapes were fermented at low temperatures to
retain aromatics. The wine was fermented and aged in 100% stainless steel tanks with no malolactic to ensure bright
flavors and crisp texture. The 2015 vintage began with above average temperatures and no hard dormancy. This resulted in early bud break
followed by a cooling period which created a lull in flowering and set, especially in the lower elevation blocks. The
grapes were high in quality with smaller berry size, cluster size and weight which ultimately translated into intense
flavor concentration. As a result, the 2015 vintage is rich, complex, and intense in character.
